Genuine question, as someone who didn't read inappropriate books but ended up watching grown up movies and television (the sexy stuff was without my parents realizing it), do you feel the same way about onscreen stuff?

Because, I won't lie, some of it did a number on me psychologically.

The reason I ask is because I'm not sure that it always does teach kids how to sit with discomfort. I don't know, and I don't know if any research has been done on the impacts of such things, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some folks who should not have read what was available to them.

I think reading and watching are different experiences. It can be a lot easier to close a book than turn away from a disturbing scene. And I think whenever we talk about kids we have to remember that they are all different!
